Iowa's goal is to become the healthiest state in the nation in just five years. The privately led and publicly endorsed Healthiest State Initiative will bring out the best in both the public and private sectors. The initiative will begin with the "Start Somewhere Walk" on October 7, 2011. At noon, Iowans are kicking off the Healthiest State Initiative by walking one kilometer together as a state. Wherever you are – work, school, home, church – take about 12 minutes out of your day to go on a quick one kilometer (0.62 miles) walk with friends, family, neighbors or co-workers.
